The feasibility of the CLIC novel scheme of two-beam acceleration was extensively tested in the CTF3 facility over the last few years. In particular, efficient full beam loading acceleration, isochronous ring operation, beam recombination by transverse RF deflectors have been fully proven. 12 GHz RF power production by high-current drive beam is now part of CTF3 routine operation, and two-beam acceleration up to 150 MV/m has been achieved. Drive beam deceleration tests were carried out as well. In this paper we summarize the main results obtained, including the more recent ones. We also outline and discuss the future experimental program, both in CTF3 and in other beam facilities, as well as the path to a possible facility needed in the initial stage of the CLIC project, CLIC0.

The CLIC damping rings are designed to produce unprecedentedly low-emittances of 500 nm and 5 nm normalized at 2.86 GeV, in all beam dimensions with high bunch charge, necessary for the performance of the collider. The large beam brightness triggers a number of beam dynamics and technical challenges. Ring parameters such as energy, circumference, lattice, momentum compaction, bending and super-conducting wiggler fields are carefully chosen in order to provide the target emittances under the influence of intrabeam scattering but also reduce the impact of collective effects such as space-charge and coherent synchrotron radiation. Mitigation techniques for two stream instabilities have been identified and tested. The low vertical emittance is achieved by modern orbit and coupling correction techniques. Design considerations and plans for technical system, such as damping wigglers, transfer systems, vacuum, RF cavities, instrumentation and feedback are finally reviewed.
